We've got two numbers: 5488 and 601. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 1 in column 1 and get 9.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 0 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 6 in column 3 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 0 in column 4 and get 6.

So, 5488 + 601 = 6089.
